Hello, and please help!!

[urchinhead]

Hello, I've looked in on this site quite a few times, but finally just joined.

I was also wondering how to decode my VIN. I used the decoder, but I must be doing something wrong.

I've got a '64 Dart GT, with a factory four-speed behind a 273 V8.

Here's how the tag looks;
1234567890
8 2 B
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
3 1 5 B 731 2

SO NUMBER BDY TRM PNT
0409 3041 L42 P4X ZZ3

If anyone can help, I would be greatful. Thank you! :love4:

The red car does look like mine, except I've got the little V8 emblems.

The '65 fender tag from the '62-'65 Mopar site is a bit different than my '64. I'm getting there! Thanks guys.

 

[urchinhead]

Jim Lusk on BigBlockDart clued me in the fact that the VIN and fender tags are not one and the same. So I found out...

Vehicle Identification Number: L445162679
Vehicle Model: Dart V8
Vehicle Class: Dart GT
Vehicle Body Style: N/A
Vehicle Engine: N/A
Vehicle Year: 1964
Vehicle Assembly Plant: Los Angeles, CA, USA
Assembly Sequence Number: 162679

Thanks for your help everyone!

Urchinhead, to decode your fender tag go to the bottom section of this link. Mikehttp://www.mopar1.us/build.html

Hello urchinhead, you`ll find lot`s of useful information here.........and some useless too, but that`s the fun part. Welcome.

 

[urchinhead]

Thanks ValiantMike. I found one more ID that was on the Fender Tag, but I'm still searching. I like the site, there's a lot going on.

 

[71 Dart]

Welcome, I'm new here myself and I can only tell ya these guys will help you all they can, a good bunch of Mopar buds for sure.

 

[ValiantMike]

Glad it helped you. I find those fendertag decoders a little baffleing sometimes. Like when the same number seems to represent several completely different options. Mike
